IMO, Mother Teresa is already a saint. I think she would find the whole "beatification" process amusing.

First, there is that five year waiting period, but in her case, they make an exception and put her on the "fast track" to sainthood. Then, they have to prove to the pope that she took part in two miracles. A mere "image" of Mother Teresa was all it took for a woman in India to be cured. One down, one more to go! People all over the world must be watching and waiting, hoping that "their" miracle, attributed to Mother Teresa, is the the one that puts her over the top.

Go Mother Teresa! One more miracle. We're rootin' for you! Our wish'll make it official!

This is a woman that said in her diaries that she was not sure God existed and she and her fellow sisters told the hindi to pray to their gods before they died ...this is not the stuff of a saved person (that is what the bible refers to as a Saint)

She was a nice compassionate lady..but not necessarily saved..maybe but not for sure..
